UM student Chris Kistler, a senior from Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was arrested Friday evening as he was escorting a blind UM student from the field of the Orange Bowl during the Miami-Navy football game.
Kistler had obtained permission from one police officer to escort the student down to the field to meet the cheerleaders and to hear the sounds of the game.
Although Kistler and the student were not leaving early, it is standard procedure for police to allow disabled spectators to leave the stadium early by way of the field exits.
Kistler was on the field when a Miami police officer grabbed him and started pulling him off the field.
“He (Kistler) tried to pull his arm away from the offi-

Speeders Tracked By Radar

Coral Gables Police now have an instrument that provides foolproof measurements of speeding vehicles
on city streets.
The Kustom Signal Radar Unit was purchased for $1,600 to cope with the city’s growing traffic problems and in response to numerous complaints of speeding from Coral Gables residents and businessmen.
The cone-shaped portion of the unit sends out a radar beam which is automatically returned by the vehicle being monitored. In one-fifth of a second, the radar-computed speed of the vehicle is registered in the window of the black box, a device roughly resembling a clock-radio.
The unit interrupts its audible electronic signal tone with a series of beeps when the monitored vehicle exceeds the speed limit.
The device can reach out nearly a half a mile to compute the speed of a vehicle and register the speed within one mile per hour accuracy.
The unit is portable and can be installed in seconds in any police vehicle, marked or unmarked. It is not visible to approaching tourists.
"We want to get as much publicity for this unit as possible. We just want people to know we have it. We are using it to reduce speed, not for gaining revenue,” Sgt. Lewis Mertz, community relations director of the Coral Gables Police Department, said.
“We hope that the radar unit will serve more as a deterrent than as an enforcement device. Officers of our investigation unit have been trained and certified as operators of the unit, however, and will issue citations in sit-u a t ion s which warrant them,” Coral Gables Police Chief, W. G. Kimbrough, said.
“We wish there were some way to provide a schedule so that motorists could know where the radar will be located on a given day, but it will be shifted often according to need,” Kimbrough said.

cer and break free. The officer grabbed harder, and the blind student being escorted was pulled loose from Kistler. More police came over and grabbed him. they came from everywhere,” UM student John Sable, who witnessed the arrest, said.
Kistler said he was taken into a tunnel beneath the Orange Bowl, handcuffed and
“then they kneed me about me head.”
In the tunnel they had six policemen on me and I heard one say ‘I would like to get more of you long-haired queers.’ They probably thought I was queer since the blind student had me by the arm,” Kistler said.
Kistler told the Hurricane Saturday “I still don't have any feelings in my hands, they did a good job on me. They didn’t inform me of my rights and when I asked for them, they told me I had the
right to remain silent.”
Kistler was in a City of Miami police van when the Hurricane tried to find out what happened.
A police officer on the field was questioned, and said that “nothing happened, why don’t you go home?”
He refused to give his name, and said that he had no name, and that was his reason for not wearing a name tag.
Eight Miami patrolmen were stationed around t h e truck and refused to allow Kistler’s friends to talk with him.
The police r e p e a tedly warned them to go home, “or you'll be next.”
A Hurricane reporter was threatened with arrest as he investigated the story.
The policeman cracked jokes about the UM bail bond service and taunted Kistler’s
friends with, “Is that what you got by protesting, your own bail bond service?”
While Kistler was being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest the blind student slipped into the crowd and was taken home by a friend of Kistler.
After spending a couple of hours in the city of Miami jail, Kistler posted bail and was released.
There have been problems before with disabled students at the Orange Bowl.
At one game last year, Lee Gioseffi, a UM student disabled by polio and ambulatory by crutches only, was not allowed to leave the field early. He was forced to make his way down to his car by slowly inching his way down the stairs that 30,000 people were using at the same time.
At the time of the incident,
he was almost arrested by a Miami policeman, for insisting that he had to use the field exit.
UM student King Barham escorted Martha Sheldon to her first football game last week. She Is a victim of cerebral palsy and had never been able to see a game in the Orange Bowl.
“I wanted to take her out through the end zone exit, since she had to go out through a field exit because of her chair. I wanted to give her a thrill by taking her across the field when an officer started yelling “Get that girl off the field,” Barham said.
"We went towards the sidelines and he continued screaming at us until we were off the field. We finally made it to the other side. Martha was visible shaken.”

Peace Corps Veteran Killed In South Miami
By ILENE ENTIN
Of Tht Hurrleant Staff
Rick Wiegel, 25, a Peace Corps veteran and teacher of retarded children is dead.
Wiegel was driving his date, Doris Ann Johnson, home from an evening at the Flick, a coffee house located near UM, and had to pass through South Miami’s black section, which holds one quarter of South Miami’s population.
Larry Evans, 21, was sentenced last Thursday to eight years in prison when he pleaded guilty to robbery charges.
His arrest had set off disturbances in the South Miami area in August.
There was trouble the night Wiegel was shot within this area, but Wiegel didn’t know about it as he was in the
Flick listening to music.
Wiegel was a graduate of the University of South Florida and had been teaching special education classes at predominantly black A. L. Lewis Elementary school in Homestead.
All who knew Rick Wiegel can only say how much he enjoyed life, children, his work, helping others and that he was just “special.”

Senator Edmund Muskie, Democratic presidential candidate from Maine, and Dick Gregory, author, comedian and ex-presidential candidate will speak at UM Thursday.
Muskie will speak at the Rock from 12-1 p.m. Gregory will speak In the Ibis cafeteria at 8 p.m.
Muskie’s appearance will take the form of an informal question and answer period and all students are welcome to participate.
Muskies appearance will give the students a chance to ask the front-running Democratic candidate for President questions on his foreign and domestic views.
In the past, Muskie has supported every major civil rights law which came before the Senate, and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution since 1963, he has written 90% of all environmental legislation.
On Vietnam, Muskie favors a full pull-out of all U.S, forces by the end of the year.
Dennis Richard, co-ordina-tor for the Dade County “Youth Coalition for Mus-
kie” said, “Senator Muskie is known for his frankness and honesty, something we see little of from today’s leaders.
“The opportunity to ask
face to face questions to the Democratic front-runner and a man who may very well be the next President is one that n« UM student should pass up, whatever his political beliefs may be,” he said.
Gregory, the author of the autobiographical best seller, "Nigger,” has been touring college campuses around the country.

Wiegel stopped his car at SW 62nd Street obeying the stop sign and flashing light, when two young black males approached his small '69 MG.
“I thought they wanted my purse,” Mrs. Johnson who lives in the area, said, but within a few seconds a gun was nuzzled into Wiegel’s armpit and the trigger was pulled.
There is no known motive for the killing or why Mrs. Johnson’s neighbors refused to open their doors to her when she went for help. Mrs. Johnson is divorced and the mother of three.
“It may be that this was connected somehow to the sentencing Thursday of Larry Evans," South Miami City Manager Lloyd Weldman said, "It may be. We suspect this, but have no direct knowledge that
this is so."

Ripoff Artist 6Fast Eddie’
1 Ibis Phantom Panhandler A Fraud ?
“Don't lend money to Eddie Williams.”
That is the word around the Ibis Cafeteria from people who have lent money to Eddie. Eddie passes himself off as an employee of the cafeteria but when people come back to the cafeteria looking for their money Eddie Is nowhere to be found.
It seems that Eddie Williams is not and never was an employee of the cafeteria.
"We don't know who this guy is,” an employee of the cafeteria said, “people come around here looking for him and we have to turn them away because we don’t know him."
So if someone comes up to you in the Ibis and wants to borrow a dime until the next Slater’s payday and his name sounds strangely like Eddie Williams, give — don’t lend him the money because chances are you will never see “fast Eddie" again.
